Andrew Roberts, Retail Development Manager for Royal Voluntary Service (RVS), has been integral in the coordination of RVS cafés within the NHS setting achieving
healthyliving awards. So far, 11 cafés hold an award. The healthyliving award operating within the voluntary sector brings its own challenges, and the RVS are committed to the principles of the award and are adapting their food offering to fit. Andrew was responsible for producing HLA fact sheets for the RVS volunteers, enabling the volunteers to have a quick and easy guide to the award.
- Q. What were your main reasons for applying for the healthyliving award?
- A. As all of our cafés are within hospitals or health centres, it is important for us to help our customers make healthier choices. The healthyliving award gives us the framework to do this.
- Q. What has achieving the award meant to your business?
- A. The award gives us a point of difference from our competitors. Adding new healthier ranges has also added to our sales.
- Q. Do you feel that going for the award has been worthwhile?
- A. Most definitely. It is great to show our customers that responsible retailing is extremely important to us.
